Spoons are an indie/alternative 5-peice band from the Mancunian suburub of Chorlton.
They formed in The Chorlton branch of Whetherspoons back in September 2005.
"Spoons follow in the tradition of Oasis and The Stone Roses as the last gang in town and bring back a much needed attitude to the Manchester music scene.
The 5 piece Chorlton based band, average age 18, scraped together to record rough demos of tracks "The Tree That Could.." and "The Taxidermist" although rough around the edges the demos have been compared to the much bootlegged early Stone Roses demo sessions. Listening to the classics such as The Smiths, The Pixies and Joy Division the band have attracted wide and diverse opinions with everything from "Like Boy Kill Boy...only with better tunes" through to "Spoons - a band on the cusp of greatness" A band of the people it wont be long before Spoons are mentioned in the same name as the legends they aspire to."
